been hacked twice (that I know of) and it is one of the worst
Not yet but I did come to a solution. The virus is doing 2 basic things.
1. spawning off new process files to run
2. opening up a back door for someone to come in and update/install new
viruses
I'm using a program called stopzilla to stop the backdoors from operating
until I can remove them. No
Thanks but neither solution seems to have an option to actually remove the
viruses.

Try running msconfig and select a boot method. Each OS is a little
different.

The House of Fusion webserver has the W32.Virut.W virus. Does anyone know a
way to remove this virus remotely on a windows 2000 machine? I can't boot it
into safe mode so that's not an option.
Thanks
